If you are looking for good accessories for you plate carriers and ballistic vests, then you can also choose from the range of products from the Czech company Combat Systems, which is top-class in its field. One of those products is also NIJ III.A Sentinel 2.0 Cummerbund Ballistic Insert. You can get these as set of two.
Ballistic insert III.A Sentinel 2.0 is so called soft armor insert, which is flexible solution that adapts to the body shape of the user yet it is effective – minimally for the calibers that it is rated for.
This soft ballistic insert is capable of stopping 9mm handguns (9x19 NATO, 9x18 Makarov) and 9 mm Sub (MP5) at higher velocity, in addition to .357 SIG .44 Mag and also 7,62 × 25 mm Tokarev. The main purpose of the ballistic insert is to stop missiles from handguns with high energy at impact, but no less important is to limit the secondary effect of these missiles, which is trauma effect.
Combat Systems ballistic inserts are made from the highest quality materials. Specifically in this case, it is Honeywell Spectra shield UHMWPE material. All this is considered one of the best solutions in this area worldwide.
Combat Systems ballistic inserts are really made from the top-class materials and so no need for any extra materials to reduce trauma effect. Trauma (as secondary effect) is minimized by ballistic material itself. The durability of ballistic inserts is provided by waterproof cover and closing using ultrasonic technology.
Combat Systems ballistic inserts are made to meet US Level III.A NIJ 0101.04 standards. This ensures that they are capable of stopping also Tokarev or Makarov handguns, that are dangerous and at the same time commonly available.
